Course Highlights
Brae Burn's strategic layout features a mix of short par 4s and hilly terrain that rewards thoughtful play. Groomed fairways, fast greens, and a smooth pace of play consistently deliver strong value for golfers.

Rating 69.2

Brae Burn Golf Club in Plymouth has a traditional layout with a landscape that ranges from gently rolling to wildly undulating. On most holes, elevated tees play to elevated greens. The large, undulating greens usually slope back to front. Golfers will encounter water on 15 holes and the fairways are lined with mature trees. The bunkering is sparse but strategically placed and there are also rough-enhanced moguls protecting the greens, a unique feature at Brae Burn. One tip if it is your first time on the golf course is to study the course diagram beforehand since there are many hidden ponds that come into play on the fairways and greensides. The course's most famous hole is the par-5 13th, nicknamed "The Monster" since it measures a devilish 666 yards. This tricky hole double doglegs to the left and then back towards the right.

Good Experience

Everytime I play Brae Burn, there is something new I learn about my golf, either from the people I play with or just on my own. All have been good experiences and I recommend this course to anyone for a challenge. I challenge anyone to birdie the "Monster" par 5, the largest in Michigan. Have a good round!!!!

Long par5, the MONSTER

The MONSTER,13, of course, 666 yards and it is not just long but it's ugly and difficult. The golf course is in good condition and the greens are nice. Most holes are difficult, I like playing this course.

plenty of risk reward

A nice muni, with a lot of risk reward driveable par 4's go for it in 2 par 5's but also a 600 yard double dogleg par five with a pond in the fairway at the second dogleg. Ive gone out here and said I'm going to destroy this track but then the great equalizer the greens, ive putted 4 footers off the green. If your below the cup go for it if not lag it close the greens will make you drink good thing they have a well stocked bar in a nice little clubhouse. Stop in, say hi to Brett and his staff and enjoy a round of golf, you'll be glad you did

first time

Played this course with a buddy on the 4th of July. Called many courses looking for a tee time 3 weeks in advance, was the only course to let me schedule and said I could pick any time all day that I wanted to play. Staff was friendly, course was in good shape for the weather (hot and dry) which meant hard ground and fast greens. Some holes were more challenging than others, but the layout was nice. Good course for any ability. Was nice to get out and play and will definitely be back to play again.

Tough track

This course can play tough, it has some very long holes and even some of the shorter hole are very difficult. The course was in good condition when we played it and the greens always seem to play fast, I'm not a great putter but these greens can humble the best putter quick.

Love old courses

Shorter course with interesting changes in elevation. Like leaving driver in bag for a most of a round and shot shaping. I enjoyed the change of pace from longer driver dominated courses.

I have played this course several times over the years and have never had a bad experience. You must play most of the holes smart ( the monster in particular). I will play this course again.

True test of golf.

I've played Brae Burn many times over the past twenty years and always found it challenging and enjoyable. Some greens and tee boxes were being aerated, sanded and brushed. Wish I would have known that ahead of time. Probably would have waited until the following week to play.

Staff

One of their staff told me that he does' like people who play at Brae Burn with Golf Now voucher.

I play with my family android were frustrated with his comment. Of course, I paid a small amount of money that I suppose to pay because I took a hot deal. The staff had not professional attutude when he faced to customers even though we paid a small amount of money as a green fee compared to normal green fee.
